SWORD BEARER KILLED.
A Short Engagement Which Resulted in the
Sudden Ending of the War.

On Saturday morning scouts were sent
to the camp of Sword Bearer, the belli-
girent hostile, by Gen. Ruger. to request
the Indians to COME in aad surrender.
Pretty Eagle harangued the camp, after
which he and several chiefs rode up to
Gen. uRger's headquarters. A. H. Her.
sey, in the Independent, says that the
following talk" then took place:
General Frank Armstrong said: 81
have been sent by the Great Father to
settle this trouble. You must give up
the bad men. l turn everything over,
chief, to General Ruger, and he will
settle it his way. That is all"
Pretty Eagle replied: ave are willing
to give up Sword Bearer, but we can't
give up the Others"
General Ruger: II want all the bad
young mon; you must bring them before
12 o'clock. ITO Crazy Head.) I want
your boy, too"
Pretty Eagle: "We will go back to
our camps"
General Ruger: "The Great Father
| sent me to take the bad young men, and
l must have them. They shall not be
hurt, but they must be punished"
Pretty Eagle: "We will go back and
talk to the medicine man."
General Ruger: "That is all have to
say"
Pretty Eagle and his followers, six
chiefs, among whom was Two Belly, the
lazy old drunkard, well known to all
| citizens of this region, then returned to
| Sword Bearers camp. The Indians then
began riding around the post, singing
war songs and openly defying the sob,
diers. Gen. Ruger ordered the cavalry
to be drawn up in line, and when thDs
time expired for the Indians to surren-
der, the cavalry advanced, the infantry
taking n position oil an eminence near
by. The Indians opened fire, and at 81 q
first volley, Corporal Chas. Sampson, oil
Troop X, First Cavalry. was shot dead,
and a private of Troop X, was wounded
in four places. TIC Indians then seur.
ried to their places of concealment and
rifle pits. A hotchkiss rifle was then
fred by the soldiers, but overshot the
mark; but the next shot was more sue
cessfnl, killing one Indian and his horse
The troops were then ordered 10 al.

THE "ROAD AGENTS.

Chas. Hickenpottom and VIM. James
have for some time been suspected of
being two of the parties concerned in
the stage robbery which occurred in the
Park last May. The robbers got only
$16 in cash from five passengers-three
ladies and two gentlemen-at Eagles
Nest, a secluded spot on the stage road
between Cinnabar and Mammoth Hot
Springs. The officers, notably Jas. Pons-
ford, deputy U. S. Marshal, have long
been working on this case. and as a
result, Sheriff Templeton arrested Hick-
enbottom last week, and Mr.. Ponsford,
on Friday last, went to the Park and
there received VIM. James from the
troops, who had been under arrest,
according to a pre.arranged plan.
The prisoners were given a hearing on
Monday, a large number of witnesses
being in attendance, before U. s. Com
missioner A. D. Mcpherson. Both pris-
oncrs waived examination and their
case will be investigated by the U. S
grand jury at this term Of court.

Mr.. Thornburgh, of Helena, was in

the crop notes published in the CHRoN-

the Gallatin valley, than anything that

says that quite a number of eastern
people on the train that day, who had
read from the Independent the accounts
of large crops as copied from the CHRoN-

believed it to be almost impossible that
snch crops conld be raised.

time to think of outside garments. Our
assortment of Women's, Misses and
Children's Cloaks, Wraps and New
markets is very large and includes all
the popular fabrics such as plush
astrachan, beaver, velvet, cashmere and
seal skin, in much larger variety of pat
terms and qualities than can be seen else
where. Never was such an elegant lot
of goods shown in Bohemian before. As
to IL prices our large sales this fall are
evidence enough that they are where all
can reach them.
No concern shows such a stock of furs
as we do. Seal sacqnes, fur lined circn-
lars, boas, mufis, fur sets for ladies and
children, all 60 to make up the best and

Our shawls and skirts can be seen in
our cloak department. We have a nice
line of these goods; In fact our entire
stock should be seen and it WILL be
appreciated.
In justice to yourself look at our stock
before you buy.
